RUMBLE OF THE RAILS.
Increase of the Traffic Through the st.
Mary's Canal During the Past
Six Years.
Possibilities of Rapid Trains Being Put
on This Season From st. Paul
to Chicago
Some More Fresh Information Re-
garding the Baltimore IL
Ohio Deal,
Which is Presented in Full. Despite
Some Informaltty in
Details.

The canal at st. Mary's Falls is now at
tracing much more attention than hereto
fore by reason of the possible effects of the
interstate commerce law. The tonnage
that is crowding upon it shows that it is
wholly inadequate. AS it now is. 1t is OF
insufficient depth and is too mar
row. ANY breakage in the present locks
would stop traffic altogether. A new canal,
shippers claim. should be built of sufficient
depth and width as quickly as possible,
which could be used while the old one
is being rebuilt. The tonnage that
is crowding upon the canal to and from the
Northwest shows that before this work can
be done both canals will be tested to their
utmost capacity. A few facts will show
the vast importance OF the great avenue for
freight. The canal was open to navigation
PA days in 1886, the first vessel having
pa SSed on the 25th of April and the last on
the 4th of December, thus making the
season thirteen days longer than in 1885.
On the 18th of July 81 vessels were
passed through the locks. this being the
greatest number in any one day in the his
tory of the canal. The average number of
vessels passing per day during the month of
June was 40; during July, 41I, and dur
ing August 4035, or for the three
uOntlS udlly average VI aus
vessels The daily average freight
tonnage for the same period was
23.371 tons. The largest freight tonnage
that ever passed in one day was on the 2Sth
OF July, 1856, when So vessels carrying
AZ, 442 tons, were locked through. The
registered tonnage passing through the
canal during the season was 4,219. 397 tons.
and the freight tonnage 1927. 759 tons.
The ratio Of increase over 1885 was 80 per
cent. III each case. The increase in freight
tonnage over 1885 was 1,271, Isl tons. of
which 81 per cent. was in the single item
of iron ore. The aggregate value of freight
for 1886 is 500, $50. O71.95. being an in
crease of 20 per cent. over 1885. The actual
freight tonnage has increased from l, 567,-
IA in 1881 TO 4, 527, 759 in 1886. The fol-
lowing table will show the business done
on this canal in 1886 and the increase over
1881.
